Frederick Voice Instructors

About

I have used Alvin Smithson's services for over five years as a piano tuner, teacher and performer. I am always impressed with his skills, artistry and professionalism. Alvin first came to tune my 100-years old Steinway after it had been neglected for a number of years. He first examined the instrument, diagnosed what needed to be done and then proceeded with his expert tuning. Immediately after he was done and started playing, I was amazed at how good the piano sounded. Alvin explained that with a piano that hasn't been tuned or played in so many years, it will take some time to achieve its best form and sound for which it was built. A short time after, my wife started taking piano lessons from Alvin and as she started gaining proficiency in playing under his guidance, the piano itself gained a rich pleasing sound. Alvin paid close attention and adjusted notes or did a full tuning whenever needed. He also took the time to clean the strings and do minor technical adjustments. When a string needed to be replaced, Alvin recommended a technician from a highly reputable company. Overall, we owe it to his expertise to have the wonderful old piano do what it was built for by the Steinway masters. I should also mention that I heard some great musicians at venues where Alvin is the regular piano tuner. People who visit our house and hear our piano, or play it themselves, always compliment its sound. But the best comes when Alvin himself sits at the keyboard, whether at our house, at a social function or performing in the theater, it's such a joy to hear him play some great classical pieces as well as his own wonderful compositions. He is truly a very talented, sensitive and highly knowledgeable artist. And such a pleasant person, too. My wife and I feel fortunate to have Alvin give us the best piano sound to enjoy live music in our home. I would recommend him to anyone as piano tuner, teacher and overall musician.

Jenni is a WONDERFUL voice teacher. She has a fantastic personality and attitude. She is very upbeat, and makes voice lessons fun for my daughter. My daughter has studied with Jenni for 4 years, and has improved dramatically. Her range and breathing techniques are considerably better than when she started. Not only has Jenni been a wonderful teacher to my daughter, she has been a friend too. Helping with audition preparation, college planning, and everything in-between.

About

I have worked with Ronald since 2001 through 2012 as a colleague teaching at Carroll County School for the performance Arts. His talent and skill as a Music Director / Instructor complimented those of myself as Theatre Director/ instructor and the dance instructors. Our collaborations on Musical productions proved that his ability to work with a multitude of personalities and "characters" is one of his strongest attributes.
I have also taken voice lessons from him. I find his professionalism and ability to relate well to both adult and young students to be remarkable. His approach to voice with me allowed me to expand my range in style and genre of the music that I could sing, something that my voice training previously had not accomplished. I am a much improved and stronger singer then I had been by studying and working with him.My ability to now read music beyond sight reading is accredited to his patience and understanding of how to reach each students learning style.
Singing under his direction with Voices Community Choral Ensemble for several years and with St. Paul's U.C.C. Church choir, I have gained the skill of choral singing and vocal blending, yet another insight to voice never taught to me by previous vocal teachers.
Ronald teaches the "whole" of voice and directs his students how to put it together and use it to the best of their individual ability, permitting the student to expand their talent many folds.
As Ronald, I and others continue to work on teaching and directing students and productions together, I look forward to see what new lessons and knowledge he will graciously share with us.

I've been taking vocal lessons with Karen through Skype, and despite the distance (Silver Spring US- Mumbai), it has been devoid of disturbances and quite enjoyable. After evaluating my voice and musical tastes, she has helped me improve my vocal tone and power in a surprisingly short time. She has been very helpful, evaluating the recordings i send her by mail. Would highly recommend her as a teacher.
Thanks! :)

About

Jeanine taught two of my daughters, one piano lessons and the other voice lessons. They both enjoyed Jeanine as a teacher and her willingness to teach them music and songs that they preferred to learn. They would tell her what they wanted to learn and she let them know which would be appropriate for their level. This kept them interested in the lessons with the desire to practice!

About

My daughter had no formal voice instruction before seeing Sarah for voice lessons. Sarah really helped my daughter feel more comfortable singing by herself. She went from not singing in front of people to successfully singing her first solos last school year! Her technique has improved as she is learning to sing in formal settings. She is more relaxed and sure of herself. Thank you, Sarah!
